you can try corbins seats there $$, reupholstered seats i've only seen it once and it was on a GSXR all he did was buy the fabric leather or whatever you wont and buy foam or something, then get the heavy duty staples.

I have seen a discussion about this, and most will say not to mess with the seats. That they were specifically designed... ect ect. I no pro by any chance, but I would just leave it alone. Ill see if I can find the old post.

any place that does automotive upholstery work could add another fabric or some more foam on there for you.

Not sure where ya live, but I'd wait til ya can do at least a 400+ mile day trip, those are good for making everything nice n sore, but afterwards the bike feels much more comfortable.

Had my seat and seatcowl wedge redone in Carbon Fiber Vinyl at a local upholstery shop (60.00 bucks material and labor). Didnt make the seat any more comfortable...if you will though. Find the right guy and anything is possible. Corbin may be your ticket
